There have been a number of people charged with DUIs in Canada for drinking while canoeing, even one in a paddle boat here. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/canada-set-to-remove-drunk-canoeing-as-an-impaired-driving-offence quote:Currently, the Criminal Code stipulates that road vehicles need to be motorized to qualify under impaired driving laws. But it also includes water-going “vessels,” whether they’re motorized or not. The term “vessels” is only vaguely defined, aside from an oddly specific instruction that hovercraft are included, leaving it open to police and prosecutors to decide what it means. The cops have even crack down on people drinking while tubing down the river, calling it "drinking in public"

As an Illinoisian who's been boating in Wisco, getting in trouble for drinking on a boat is insane to me. It's practically a requirement!

THey actually got rid of the DWC (drinking while Canoeing) law in Ontario for a bit, but I think they brought it back after someone was drunk, and a kid drowned.

There's a thing like that here where two guys in a car will show up and one of them will drive your car home (with you in it, presumably).

My buddy got a bus for his bachelor party and they stopped at the liquor store on the way home and we got Four Loko and I don't remember the rest of the night, 10/10 would recommend.

I have the world's worst super power - I can drink enough to literally get alcohol poisoning and I will still remember every detail of that night. I have so many embarrassing memories that my friends have forgotten. I remember cringy things I've said, dumb poo poo I did, and even the occasional "oh gently caress I could have died doing that what is wrong with me?"

Same, but I might have to get reminded of it and then it's.... Oooooooooohhhhhh  and then try to find a rock to crawl under and die. Although to be fair it's been years since I've done stupid poo poo like that. Someone once told me that if you don't have regrets from stupid, cringe worthy stuff you've done in the past, you haven't matured or grown up. When you can look back and go "sheesh, that was loving terrible/awful" that's a sign that you've grown as a human being. That's kind of stuck with me

That sounds hella convenient, but I'd worry about insurance. slidebite posted:Same, but I might have to get reminded of it and then it's.... I've heard that about programming: if code you wrote years ago doesn't gross you out, that's a red flag.

I've got an amazing memory. My boss will ask me about a job from 15 years ago, some that i might not have even worked on and I'll often remember some obscure details about it. We set up a database on Google Earth with all our old jobsites and I was the go to guy when there wasn't a specific address or some other poo poo that needed clarification as to the exact location. Sooooooooo now that I've sucked my own dick, I guess what I'm trying to say is that having a good memory is a blessing and a curse. Because I can remember a fuckin gang of stupid poo poo that I've done over the years. Lots of it while liquored up. I regret most of it.

Memory is so weird. I saw a Mazda 626 in traffic a couple of months ago, read the license plate and went "oh I rebuilt the transmission on that thing" then I realised it that happened twenty four years ago.

I can remember 8 digit jeep part numbers and where parts are in the nebulous omnipile of junk on my workbench from literally a decade ago but I'll be damned if I can remember to pay my excise tax until it has two late fees and a tax warrant on it. Actual examples. I needed an 83504055 AW4 4x4 output seal for my Comanche a few weeks ago. I remembered the part number and found it in my spare parts pile within a minute despite it being purchased in 2010... Four Jeeps, two apartment moves, one house move, and one shop move ago. But I literally missed a dentist appointment with 3 alarms set to tell me to go to it.

I can't remember numbers for poo poo, even back before cell phones the only phone number I could remember was my own so I had to look in my number book constantly. And I was always bad at math too, maybe there's a correlation there.

Memento posted:"how can I take something that's not that great to start with and then make it demonstrably worse in every single way?" I think this thing has a bell crank linkage from the steering rack to the front forks, so I kind of love it. Memento posted:Memory is so weird.

My wife remembers exactly why she was mad at me for eating a sandwich in Paris on holiday three years ago, but she does not remember Stuttgart or Frankfurt from the same trip.

The craziest thing I remember is this: 230.2585093 If you put that into a Ti Scientific Calculator from the 1970’s and hit e^x you get 99.999999... 10^99 The last time I did what was in the 1970’s. Can’t get it out of my head. I do have a good memory though, don’t miss appointments etc. I also navigate routes visually, not knowing the names of the roads. Strange stuff.
